What I'm packing... Bali

Recently I booked myself a trip to Bali with my bestfriend Katie, and I couldn't be more excited. We were meant to head to Bali about a week ago but some silly little volcano thought it would be fun to erupt and ruin the flying conditions. What this does mean is that it has given me a little more time to create a "What I'm packing for Bali" post.

I thought this would be perfect because before I started packing I found myself wondering what exactly I'd need. I asked some friends who travel to Bali frequently and did a little googling and now I'm confident that I've packed the perfect suitcase. 

1. Fake Tan

For me this is an essential no matter where I go... especially if I am going to be walking around in a bikini. For this trip I've packed my Bondi Sands tanning foam in dark as well as gloves to exfoliate and reapply if the tan becomes patchy at any point during the holiday. Let's pray I get a real tan over there as well haha!

2. Limited/ Mini Toiletries

I have a small problem with keeping my suitcase light enough so that I can do plenty of shopping. I recommend buying mini toiletries or purchasing travel sized containers and decanting your products in order to save space. Depending on where you're going... you can always purchase products when you arrive. Katie and I have decided to purchase things like Shampoo and Conditioner once we arrive in Bali as they're super cheap and easy to find!

3. Sunscreen

I'm sure you've heard me go on and on about my pale skin in every post, so sunscreen is an absolute must for me. For Bali I've packed an SPF 50 body sunscreen and an additional face sunscreen. I also picked up skin coloured zinc for the first time and I'm keen to give that a go!

4. Hair Treatment

I plan on spending a lot of time in the water and sun on my vacation and I know how much this dries out my hair. I've packed my Hair&Me Hair Rejuvenation Treatment as the packaging is minimal, super light and easy to transport, a similar alternative is the Oh Hello hair mask. I plan on using this every other day in Bali to make sure I don't come back with... crispy hair.

5. Sunglasses

Sunglasses are an absolute must for a holiday in the sun. I'll be packing a few pairs of my favourite Quay sunnies but I also plan on buying plenty when I am over there. My tip would be to keep your designer sunnies at home when travelling, the last thing you'd want is for them to get stolen, damaged or lost!

So that's what I'm packing for Bali... at this point I'm just hoping the ash cloud will clear so I can start my vacay!
